About Karu

That home stay was so relaxing that I felt as if I was home and we procrastinated for a while before finally getting up. Pangong was calling our wandering adventurous souls so it took us hardly any time to get ready. In our mind we said lets do it and left for Pangong. We travelled in harsh conditions, lost raincoats and various other things before reaching Pangong Lake. However when we did reach it, everything before that had happened seemed worthless. It was much more beautiful than what they showed in the movie 3 idiots. We clicked some pictures and soaked in this beauty all around us. However, too soon it was time to leave.

Leh has always been my dream destination , i always had a blindspot for leh more than any other destination in my bucket list .I always dreamt of going to leh from the start of my mechanical engineering days but my dream came true after my final year exams;i like adventurous thrill seeking journeys and going to leh from manali on an enfield is on the top of the food chain for such travellers....

Finally we decided to head back so we came back same way via Chang la till karu and after fueling up we decided to take manali Leh highway instead of going ask the way back to Leh some one told us there was a place around 35kms from karu where we can get accommodation it was getting dark also so without wasting time we headed towards laato, it was dark already when we reached there and took a home stay for around 200 per person.....

The defining moment of the entire journey came the next morning when the aunty using the traveler behind her as a back/butt/arm and head rest wakes up and complains to her fellow-travelers: ‘Ratra bhar melyane jara araam Karu dila nahi!’...

Just like many passing villages, Karu is another one in Ladakh. The plains of Karu must be crossed to reach the junction of Chang La, an important pass to reach the famous lakes Pangong and Tso Moriri. Karu is also a few kilometers away from Hemis which is home to the Hemis monastery, and the Hemis National Park.

From Upshi, we proceeded towards the military station “Karu”. Karu is predominantly inhabited by defense personals. Well maintained roads with intermittent road signs, regular check posts and a frequent convoy of army trucks constitutes this vast cantonment.
